Eu digo que sim?

Portuguese Questions Grammar

just confused about the “que” in this sentence. I thought que=what. Could you not say “eu digo sim” ?

@kyrapup50, these two forms are possible:

  • Eu digo que sim
  • Eu digo “sim”

In the first option, the “que” should not be read as “what”. It’s more of a “I say that…”. It’s not directly translatable into English in this case.
